I worked with a female firefighter for 3 or 4 years. (she quit when she got pregnant) She was every bit as capable as me or many of the other guys. I wouldn’t hesitate to put my life in her hands. There aren’t many, but there are some. She sounds like she might be allright.

Right, so your city/county/town probably paid a fortune to have her properly trained and certafied just to get 4 years of service out of her. When a fire or police dept hires and trains a person, they do so with the intention of keeping that person for a 20-25 year career. It would make more sense to hire a guy that will not get pregnant and that will probably put a full career in.

But hey, your department just needed a number on the diversity sheet... more power to them.
